Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

13.9K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

7.6K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

6.8K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • The "simian" forehead deformity presents unique aesthetic challenges.
  • Existing corrective methods may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical procedure for correcting the "simian" forehead deformity.
  • To provide a detailed account of the technique for potential clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed description of the surgical steps involved in the forehead correction procedure.
  • Illustrative examples or case studies may be included to demonstrate the technique.

Main Results:

  • Successful correction of the "simian" forehead deformity using the described procedure.
  • Positive aesthetic outcomes reported for the treated cases.
